Notes

Note NI06341From Edmund S Soper's Weymouth Ways and Weymouth People - Reminiscences, pub 1907
I read that in 1849, 39,000 people went to California by sea and 42,000 by land. Mr. Albion Hall of our village, who died recently, went overland, in company with Mr. John Phillips of Marshfield, Mass.
There were many others beside those I have mentioned who went in search of gold: — the late Mr. Edwin P. Worster, his brothers John, Henry and Thomas Worster, Elias Nash, William Cowing, and William Chessman who is still living in the far northwest, and one of the few who prospered from leaving Weymouth.
Later, in 1850, Mr. John P. Peterson and Mr. Atherton W. Tilden, the ship-builder, caught the gold fever and together went to California. Well do I remember the day some nineteen months after, being in the shop of his son Mr. Francis H. Tilden, when word came that his father had returned, a very sick man. He died Nov. 4, 1851, a few hours after his arrival.
